'Sarah Palin Is a Whack Job,' Says Top McCain Aide
Last week, several advisors called Palin a diva who has gone rogue
By TheImproper.com
Only days after several John McCain aides were quoted calling Sarah Palin a "diva who had gone rogue," Politico reports that a senior McCain advisor has now referred to Palin as a "whack job."
Last week, several unnamed McCain advisors unleashed to Politico and CNN about the Alaska governor: "[Sarah Palin] is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone. She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us."
With only one week left before Election Day, McCain and Palin (pictured with incumbent Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, a convicted felon) are campaigning this week in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
Asked to respond to reports that she had gone "rogue,” Palin replied that is “absolutely, 100% false. John McCain and I--and our camps--are working together to get John McCain elected.”
But despite loud denials, Palin has been unable to shake rumors of a nasty rift within the McCain-Palin camps, with each blaming the other for Palin's awkward national roll-out and disastrous first network interviews with ABC's Charlie Gibson and CBS News' Katie Couric.
Specifically, McCain loyalists are concerned that Palin has already given up on the 2008 election and is positioning herself to run for president in 2012. "She is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party," said one adviser. "Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom."
Palin, 44, has also come under fire after financial disclosure records showed that the Republican National Committee had spent an astounding $150,000 in a single month on a fancy new clothes for the Alaska governor and her family.
The luxury spending sprees severely undercut Palin's self-promoted image as a small-town average Jane. "It shows that Palin ain't like the rest of us," said one Democratic strategist. "It can help deflate her cultural populism with the Republican base. [Joe the Plumber's] wife doesn't go to Nieman's or Saks."
When a member of your own campaign calls you a "whack job," you know you're in trouble!
